Following successful  previous  workshops/symposia  that were held  in
Braga (PT) 2006, Grenoble  (F)  2004, Blaubeuren  (D) 2002, Girona (E) 2000, Rennes (F) 1998 and Bristol (UK)  1996 we  are happy  to 
announce the  7th Eurographics  Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization.
The aim of  this  symposium  is  to share   experiences and knowledge   of
parallel and distributed computing and its  application to all aspects
of  computer   graphics, virtual  reality,  scientific and engineering
visualization.
 
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
 
  Cluster based graphics and visualization
  Efficient graphics and visualization for shared and distributed memory systems
  Parallel and distributed systems for large and high resolution displays
  Parallel and distributed systems for photo-realistic rendering
  Parallel volume rendering
  Real-time systems for 3D virtual reality
  Data coherence in graphics algorithms
  Large data set visualization
  Large model realistic rendering
  Large scale simulations and graphics rendering
  Graphics and visualization in grid environments
  Parallel simulations for interactive applications
  Parallelism within GPU architectures
  GPU clusters
 

The EGPGV Symposium will take place at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, situated in Lugano, Switzerland, on the 20 and 21 of May, 2007.
